Abs dash light

- Windermere , FL, USA

My 2500 hydraulic control unit is causing light to constantly come on and go off causing cruise control and ABS lights. This is a rampant issue with the 17-18 year truck but no recall. The part is bad that cause the manufacturer to come out with a replacement part but still no recall and this is the second time it-??s happened the first time it was under warranty. But not this time.

Coming down a ridge with a loaded hay trailer approximately 14500 pounds, the Service Electronic Braking System and Service Automatic Braking System messages appeared in the cluster EVIC display and the service brake and traction control warning lamps illuminated and there was associated chime. I applied the brake pedal and it went to the floor with zero affect. The trailer brakes didn't respond either. I used the exhaust brake and skillful downshifting (it has a manual transmission) to slow the vehicle and then used the foot applied emergency brake pedal to bring the truck to a stop. I was lucky I was already carefully descending off of the ridge and I was able to downshift and slow before engine RPM became an issue. I cycled the ignition and the warnings went away. I very carefully and very slowly completed my descent off the ridge. Now the warnings, light, and chime are incessantly coming in and then just as soon turning off. I don't trust the truck is fit for my purposes at this point in time. I hadn't been that scared since my dad and I lost a rear axle and brakes on our 1969 Ford F-250 with a load of wood in the back coming down a mountain road when I was 12.

I have a 2018 Ram 2500. Service anti-lock brakes message is intermittently coming on and off. This occurs every few seconds while driving the truck. I took the truck to a repair facility and was displaying a code for the ABS/hydraulic control unit. I learned that there is not a known replacement to solve the issue. I have connected with other Ram owners who are dealing with the same issue while replacing unit multiple times. Ram needs to address this issue, I and along with many others are driving with no anti-lock brakes.

I-??m receiving two codes; Service Antilock Brake System and Service Electronic Braking System. I met with my mechanic this morning and he said that this is a very common problem with the 2018 Ram 2500. Since this is a reoccurring safety issue i feel that Dodge should resolve not the owner. Should I get in an accident from a break failure who is responsible?

Antilock braking and traction control system failed. I was driving on a snow/ice covered road and hit the brakes with no anti lock control and truck slid in road side ditch. Truck has not been repaired. This is a known problem that Dodge is well aware of. This could have caused serious injury or death under alternate driving situation or heavy traffic. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

ABS and Traction control has been lost and have created a safety risk especially during inclement weather. The ABS pump or the ABS control Module is faulty in multiple years Ram vehicles. I believe based on forums there is a recall issue with these parts.

ABS and Traction control lights keep going on and off, this still continues and it looks like Ram knows this is a safety issue. Dealers have no parts for repairs

On October 6th, 2023, my ABS and traction control light began to intermittently come on and turn off. Truck had about 60k miles on it at this time. Problem still persists now at 63k miles and seems to be getting worse. In 5 minutes of driving at freeway speeds, the lights come on and turn off about 20-30 times. I worry that my ABS system is not functioning properly and may result in an accident. Issue has been replicated by technicians at 4 Wheel Parts. Code reader is showing a C0020-01 code is stored in the computer.

I spent close to $1,700 to replace hydraulic control unit (HCU) at a local dealership on 4/7/2022 when my pickup truck was only 25,392 miles. Since the flashing of ABS/Traction Control lights did not stay on, I paid for the first diagnostics at this dealership but did not read the error code. I had to return couple times, and the service tech finally saw in person when the lights were flashing and was able to use the factory diagnostic scanner to read the error code, C0020-01. This error code directed the tech to replace hydraulic control unit (HCU). "...The replacement procedures says to drive vehicle if code comes back replaced abs module..." From online search, I found out that the replaced HCU in my truck was still XXXXXXXXAA, not XXXXXXXXAB, as shown on the invoice. Therefore, it explained that my truck now has the same ABS/Traction Control light flashing problem while driving or idling only after no more than 13,000 miles after the repair. So no cruise control could be used. I returned to the same dealership today, 1/15/2024. However, the service advisor warned me that I'd have to pay for the diagnostics ($296) that might not guarantee to find the error code since the flashing was not happening in front of the service advisor. I was told that until the flashing became permanent then return like last time. Based on this conversation, I felt that the dealership did not want to take any responsibility. My last paid repair at this dealership would only cover new part and labor for 24-months by the manufacturer, MOPAR, which is about to expire on 4/6/2024. I strongly recommend NHTSA to: 1) require MOPAR or the dealership to have free diagnostics, especially when customer provided video evidences the day before arriving at the dealership for help. 2) recall all ABS & HCU modules in 2018 Ram 2500 Diesel or gas. 3) require MOPAR to reimburse prior repairs nationally for all Ram owners experiencing the same problems prior to Nov 2022. Thank you very much

24700 miles is when the Warning lights and chimes started. I went on line and apparently this is a common problem with 2018 Ram Trucks. ABS Warning and "Service Electronic Braking System" Lights are on. Went to dealer (Wilson Jeep Chrysler Dodge Ram) they didn't even look at the Truck or hook it up to Diagnostic. They said it's the Hydraulic Control Unit. Parts are on National Back Order, they know about the problem and their shop as fixed over 60 trucks alone. *Manufacturer as not issued any recalls addressing this issue*

The ABS system is malfunctioning intermitantly. The vehicle can be available upon request. The safefty of any persons in the vehicle are at risk if ths brakes dont work properly. The problem has been diagnosed by an independant service center in Angola Indiana. There are warning lamps on for the ABS and a warning bell as well.

Vehicle's "Service Anti-Lock Brake System" light and warning tone is coming on intermittently. I researched this to a common problem with the Hydraulic Control Unit (failure), which is known by the dealer to be common problem among 2017-2018 Ram trucks. Problem with the original manufacturer of this unit, with no parts available for replacement at this time.

I own a 2018 Ram 2500 with 104,000 miles. During the period of ownership I have had to replace the ABS/traction control module twice. Each time the repair is over $1,000 to have a Ram dealer diagnose and repair my abs brakes. This is a very significant safety issue. Without the ABS system I cannot control this vehicle in an emergency stop situation. You cannot use cruise control. This ongoing issue needs to be investigated and Ram needs to be held accountable for a well known issue.

The HCU in which controls your ABS and Traction control will malfunction while driving down the road when this happens you have no ABS, traction control or cruise controls. The dealer part is unavailable through the dealer due them saying that they are reviewing it. This is a major safety concern due to the fact if you are traveling and it malfunctions and need to stop quickly you cannot or if it malfunctions and have cruise control set to a speed it will slow you down and can cause an accident. When vehicle was carried to dealer and asked what to do the dealer just said to drive it and don-??t follow to close to anyone, that is not the answer that needs to be given.

The ABS and traction control has a fault that-??s turns off the abs system. It-??s been troubleshot to the HCU pump. There are several ram trucks with this issue. Fault code is. C0020-01 ABS pump motor control

- Dallas, TX, USA

Constantly throwing ABS code and electronic braking system code, and then, turning off the alerts on dashboard. Many complaints of 2018 models were found online and a class action lawsuit.

Traction control/ABS illuminated on dash board as error codes. When driving at any speed the brakes are grabbing the rotors without touching the pedal. The feel is like tapping on brakes. I've replaced wheel bearing hubs for ABS speed sensors, replaced all speed sensors. Replaced the ABS MODULE and HCU MODULE and to no avail. Chrystler has had the main components on backorder. The error codes are targeting both components ABS and HCU. The Ram community has the same concerns as I do. This issue should be recalled because the ABS and HCU prevent from fish tailing and erratic traction
